14:38.19boudiccashumph is dead :(((
14:39.01clive-hLyttleton, yeah i saw
14:39.53clive-h<---not a jazz fan really
14:42.35boudiccasme neither, but i liked him on the radio doing his quiz show
14:45.18clive-h<ashamed> i only ever listen to xFM, a rock station these days </>
14:51.53halithere is nothing but bbc radio for me
14:51.57halicommerical stations make me feel ill
14:52.51clive-hRadio 6 is good but means having the telly on
14:53.10wethrinhali: Not keen on the adverts?
14:53.40clive-hI really must have another look for my USB freeview thing
14:54.03haliwethrin: not really, and they mostly play music i don't like... like that hippedy hop
14:54.17wethrinAh. Not a Radio1 fan either, then?
14:54.23clive-hlikes new wave/punk rock
14:54.26haliradio 4
14:54.32wethrinAll talk!
14:54.33halijazz
14:54.39wethrinBut it does have some good comedy
14:54.55wethrinRadio 3 has some good jazz in the evenings
14:55.00haliyes
14:55.01wethrinwell, some evenings
14:55.14halii need to invest in a dab receiver
14:55.21wethrinThey're cheap nowadays
14:55.42halivery cheap
14:56.01wethrinIn a year or two, they'll be falling out of cornflake packets
14:56.19clive-hIf DAB survives that long
14:56.28halidab is here to stay
14:56.57halii doubt we'll see ip based radio in cars etc
14:57.01haliin the near future that is
14:57.05haliobviously at some point
14:57.25wethrinOnly if wireless coverage is going to cover *all* the country
14:57.30clive-hhmmm
14:57.43wethrinNowadays, you barely get mobile signal out in the sticks
14:58.17wethrinI think the person from 3 who phoned me up yesterday trying to sell me a new handset wasn't too happy when I said I was going to leave them because their service was shit

23:06.45secretlondonstill wants an eee, but the jisus thing with a chinese mips processor looks cool
23:07.10DiscordianThe arm one?
23:07.38secretlondonno - and it looks like the elonex thing isn't an arm anyway
23:07.49DiscordianOh hang on
23:07.54secretlondon*but* nokia are apparently paying for ubuntu to be ported to arm
23:08.06DiscordianThe chinese thing is MIPS
23:08.24Discordianshame if OLPC goes doze
23:08.35secretlondonyes
23:09.49will_im waiting for the v2 eee

23:11.10will_I think its may for the UK isn't it?
23:11.20Nafallowill_: should be indeed.
23:11.28secretlondonnot quite sure who "vand der led" are though
23:12.10will_mmm the asus looks great
23:12.17will_especially with 8gb SSD

23:36.28will_Discordian I was getting this error Database query failed. Error received from database was #1146: Table 'mantis_111.mantis_tag_table' doesn't exist for the query: SELECT t.*, b.user_id as
23:36.46will_but I think it was a typo my end!
23:37.00will_seat to keyboard interface error
23:46.36secretlondonhttp://vanderled.com/onlinestore/product_info.php/products_id/81 is the mips thing
23:47.08secretlondonbut there is no Ubuntu port to that architecture, and the manufacturer normally sells LEDs
23:47.49secretlondondebian is nearest with mipsel according to wikipedia
23:55.49secretlondonyay I have my iso
23:56.23will_which iso is that?
23:56.46secretlondonubuntu hardy alt cd for i386
